We're clearly missing a trick here, but I'm not convinced of your 
approach. What should happend is that the redistributors should be reset 
as well, and that this should recall any LPI that has been made pending. 
Unfortunately, we don't seem to have such code in place, which is 
embarrassing.

Can you give the following, untested patch a go? It isn't right either, 
but it should have the right effect. If you confirm that it solves your 
problem, we can look at adding the right hooks...

Thanks,
